>> Good review tool
If you ve ever taken an AP class before you know the crazy periods of studying that occur right before the exam Prep books class notes textbooks heavy oh god the whole lot Carried around everywhere
This box set of flashcards is a very nice addition to study materials for the exam I would recommend this set to anyone who is reviewing for the exam but I did not find that is was useful for learning and last minute facts
Here s a rundown Inside the box are 500 flashcards Each has a small hole in it so you can slide a set on the included ring The ring is NOT big enough to hold all 500 but you can easily put a whole larger topic or a few smaller ones onto it at one time
The flashcards are not vocab flashcards with one word on each side The front has a concept and the back has a couple of bullets of information A couple even have diagrams like the parts of the cell or a drawing of a dicot stem verses a monocot stem You have to quint to see where a few of the arrows point but it s not too bad
As I saw it the box set did a pretty decent job of covering all the major areas of biology It even included a couple of cards on the labs that might be tested
One thing to keep in mind is that these cards are really useful only if you already know the material If you find that you don t understand a topic very well and are looking to review materials to help you get that extra bit of information to put all the pieces together then these flashcards will not help The information is brief and devoid of in depth explanation like some of the study books have If you need more of a mini lesson then I would suggest getting a real prep book Barrons makes very thorough ones but there are other types available
In short the flashcards are a good tool to help in preperation for the AP exam but you definitely need to allow some time to work through all 500
>> bio cards are great
My step son got them for Christmas and he loves them They have helped him out alot
>> One of the Two Top Flash Card Products for AP Biology
I agree with another reviewer that this is one of the top two flash card products for AP Biology the other being AP Biology Flashcard Quicklet Flashcards in a Book for Biology Students I have used both and here is my review
1 This Product This is very good if you like loose cards The order of the topics covered is rather random Some cards are very brief that is may be for brevity You have lot of space on the cards to write There are enough number of cards You should have already prepared from a Study Guide before trying these cards
2 AP Biology Flashcard Quicklet Flashcards in a Book for Biology Students This is very good if you like flash cards in a book The answers to the questions are very comprehensive and self contained The topics and cards are presented in a logical order It s an excellent tool for a quick review if you have already prepared from a Study Guide Because the cards are self contained you can use this book with any study guide or without any atudy guide
